Trainer Customization

In the old days, each Pokemon game had a single male trainer. Pokemon Crystal changed the norm by adding a female trainer option at the start of the game. Now, for the first time in the series' history, Pokemon X and Y allows players to customize their trainers appearance! This will allow each player to make a trainer that fully represents them. The avatar will appear on the PSS and Pokemon Global Link website.

The first two custom options will appear at the start of the game. Choose the gender of your trainer, then choose the basic template for their apperance. The basic appearance is the skin, hair, and eye color. Unfortunately, these options aren't very in-depth.

Find Boutiques around the Kalos region to buy new clothes, hats, shoes, and accessories for your trainer. These can be changed in any changing room at the Boutique or Pokemon Center. If you wish to change your trainer's hairstyle and color, head to a salon.

Below are just two examples of the trainer customization available in Pokemon X and Y.
